Anyone attempting to increase website traffic knows that an automation system such as SERPAssist is an invaluable tool. The manipulation of search engine optimization once belonged primarily to large companies with well-funded IT departments. Now even someone with just one blog site can accomplish it with software such as SERPAssist and SeNuke X. Manual backlink creation can be learned but is a time-consuming process. More often than not, you spend far more time and effort promoting your site than it took to create it.
There are a number of systems available but two that are attracting a good deal of attention are SERPAssist and SeNuke. Both programs have a large group of loyal followers who are quite happy with the choice they made. However, a new contender is about to be released that will add to the options available – SeNuke X. How do you decide which is the best option for you?
SERPAssist
Released in June 2010, SERPAssist immediately became a successful competitor with SeNuke. It automates account creations, posts content to sites and pings URLs to make your site visible. This software runs on your desktop and submits your tasks to a central service called SACentral that executes the tasks within 24 hours after submission. Your user interface will update as each job is created. The cost for this service is currently $97.00 per month.
With this service, SERPAssist provides email account creation, automatic WEB 2.0 account creation, automatic pinging, automatic RSS submitting, article spinning inside the system and 100% success rate proxies. The SACentral server uses exclusive proxies that are only shared among the members. Since all of the tasks are completed without your interference, a Decaptcha service is needed. You get 200 Decaptcha credits as benefit with the monthly fee. It isn’t important if you don’t understand what this means as SERPAssist is user friendly enough that it does most of the dirty work for you. The only complaint about SERPAssist is the time it takes for tasks to be completed and for the service desk to return feedback.
SeNuke X
SeNuke X has just been released and promises to not only build upon its successful SENuke software but also surpass all other programs. It promises to be the most powerful one-click SEO automation software available and blogs devoted to its launch make the anticipation of its arrival very apparent. Potential users anticipate its ability to create accounts for directories, social and Web 2.0 sites as well as getting backlinks faster and easier to many of the best directories.
SeNuke X also promises to be faster, more visually appealing and better organized than similar software such as SERPAssist. The features being highlighted include scheduled submissions, a project calendar with new features, runs in the background while minimized to the system tray, few to no crashes with the ability to auto-resume should a crash occur and everything is saved to one central database rather than multiple small files. A new press release module (which SERPAssist does not have) and a new custom web 2.0 profile module have been created. Projects will be organized into ‘campaigns and profiles will be listed instead of an option screen. You will be able to keep track of everything the software is doing with the built-in log. SeNuke X updates almost automatically and errors will be corrected as they occur. The built-in multi-threading allows you to run a number of modules simultaneously rather than one at a time, making it much faster than using Internet Explorer alone. One of the best features is the step-by-step wizard to learn how to use everything the program is capable of doing.
Current SeNuke subscribers have a lock on the new SeNuke X service for fee of $127 per month. A number of SERPAssist users moved over before the release to take advantage of the special offer to current subscribers for the new service. Following a number of delays, SeNuke X was scheduled to be released on March 22, but the updated and final release date is set for April 5th, 2011.
Should I get SERPAssist or SeNuke X?
Now you need to decide which system better suits your needs. SERPAssist runs on a remote server rather than on your computer so it does not use your computer’s resources. SeNuke X offers more modules and uses. SERPAssist is user-friendly for the non-tech people, making creating a link wheel an easy task with an easy to manipulate diagram. These visual diagrams make such a complicated task seem as easy as child’s play. SeNuke X has more SEO solutions due to its many modules, including a niche research module. SERPAssist users don’t need to pay separately for captcha or solving services of proxies. SeNuke X has a visual link diagram editor with a randomized strategy button for newbies. This allows you to build a campaign that runs automatically according to the schedule you set for it. Modules can be chained together so one starts as soon as the previous one finishes. All of the URLS generated can be pinged automatically and once pinged, all pages can be sent to the indexing module.
Still waiting for bells to ring to see which is the winner? It is really a matter of personal choice, how technically knowledgeable you are and how much you want to spend. If you have a bent for technology and the time and money to spend, SeNuke X is for you. You will be able to delve into it and tweak it to work its best for your business.
On the other hand, if you know your business needs a push into backlink territory but have limited knowledge and resources, SERPAssist is what you need. It is like a friend who loves you in spite of your ignorance. They will hold your hand, just like SERPAssist, and work automatically so you can take your business to a new level.
